A decorated ceremonial gateway of green and yellow fabric triangles arches over a street, framed by banana leaves and bunches of bananas, with a loudspeaker horn on a pole at the top. Large printed portraits flank the entrance: on the left a man in a cream turban and black ornate embroidered garment, on the right a man in a cream turban and white robe, each portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda". Smaller framed portraits stand at the base. Several people walk through the gate and a motorcycle and bicycle pass by, with a rickshaw and a metal gate visible beyond. Four people are visible.2005-11-20November 20 20052005-11-20November 20 20052005-11-20A roadside photograph of a decorated entrance arch of green leaves, banana stalks and marigold strings on a white-walled compound.
